history

Railway station in Ternopil

Today's railway line consists of several former Austrian state railway lines, which were built in the 1890s by the kk Staatsbahnen (kkStB):

State railway line Stryj – Chodorów , opened on December 22, 1899, length 41 kilometers
State railway line Chodorów – Podwysokie , opened on November 29, 1897, length 42.7 kilometers
State railway line Halicz – Ostrów-Berezowica (south of Ternopil), opened on January 25, 1897 (Podwysokie – Ostrów-Berezowica) and June 1, 1897 (Halicz – Podwysokie), length 72 kilometers + 29 kilometers

After the end of the Polish-Ukrainian War , the railway came under Polish rule and was now served by the Polish State Railways (PKP).

With the occupation of eastern Poland by the Soviet Union shortly after the start of the Second World War in 1939, the line came into the possession of the Soviet railways . These began immediately with the gauging of individual routes; but this was reversed after Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941 and the lines of the Eastern Railway were placed under the control. The route Stryj – Chodorow got the number 534g, the route Chodorow – Tarnopol got the number 534p.

The end of the Second World War brought eastern Poland to the Soviet Union with it, and under the leadership of the Soviet railways all standard-gauge railways were switched to broad gauge; since then, the railway line has been in broad gauge. During the retreat of the German troops from the area in 1944 they destroyed most of the routes; the severely damaged section of the Halytsch – Pidwyssoke route was never rebuilt.
